central log server to which the event log will be copied. To do this:

About Remote Logging
The event log is always stored locally on the VCS. However, it is
often convenient to collect copies of all event logs from various
systems in a single location. A computer running a BSD-style
syslog server, as defined in
RFC 3164 [4]
, may be used as the
central log server.
Remote syslog server
Enter the IP address or FQDN
(or server address, if a DNS
Domain Name
has also been
configured) of the server to
which the log will be written.
This server must support
the BSD syslog protocol. It
cannot be another VCS.

About Logging
The VCS provides an event logging facility
for troubleshooting and auditing purposes.
The event log records information about such
things as calls, registrations, and messages
sent and received.
The VCS logging facility allows you to:
specify the amount of information that is
•
logged. This is done by changing the event
log level
copy the event log to a remote syslog server.
•
Overview
A VCS will not act as a central logging server for other
systems.
Events will be always logged locally (i.e. to the Event Log) regardless of
whether or not remote logging has been enabled.
